I think you'll be disappointed if you're expecting an iPhone announcement tomorrow. It's going to be october again like last year. If they were going back to the original cycle, there would have been an iOS 6 announcement back in April/May.
 
There's no way that apple is going to premier all of that stuff. You guys are setting your expectations way too high.

This is most definitely going to be about iOS6 and Mountain Lion... everything else is just a shot in the dark.

As stated earlier. iCloud improvements, such as notes, etc is not a shot in the dark though. There's app the leaks plus the banner outside with iOS 6 and mountain lion...
 
Not sure if this has been asked before, but what happens to the native Maps app on my iPhone 2G after Apple drops Google? Will it continue to work or will I need to use the Google Maps app? Thanks!

It is truly pathetic, people begging a corporation for a product and begging for it to take their money. And then, begging some more. And drooling. One cannot embarrass himself publicly any more in view that it is only about a disposable electronic product. WTF??!!

Meanwhile, it is important to commend Apple for the unprecedented ability to keep a complex and time consuming process of manufacturing a vast number of devices in huge quantities - a global secret. This is, when also taking into account so many needed subcontractors, a phenomenal achievement.

The keynote is 90 minutes long. A good 30 minutes total or so is fluff, self back-patting, and demos.

That leaves 60 minutes for real announcements. I think 30 minutes for iOS, 15 minutes for Mountain Lion, and 15 minutes for something else (hardware refresh, AppleTV developer API, or something like that).

With iOS they will do the whole "tentpole" thing where they'll talk about 3-5 major areas and then say "over 200 new features we didn't talk about are in iOS 6".... 50% of which will just be new API calls for devs.

Mountain Lion will most likely be a complete rehash of what we already know with maybe a thing or two thrown in, as well as pricing and release date.

Let's keep expectations low people. Apple probably isn't going to blow anyone away (at least from people here on the forums daily).

I've learned my lesson year after year after year with over-predicting Apple events.

It will stop working, only displaying an Android sitting on top of a spinning globe on which Cupertino is always facing towards you...

Or ... it'll just continue working because the tiles are available to anyone on the web...
 
Just to preserve my hope/prediction for tomorrow - Apple will "re-invent" device-to-device, computer-to-computer, device-to-computer networking with Bluetooth 4.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if we see the following:

-Apple version of Microsoft Zune Music Pass. You pay a small fee every month and have access to all music

-Face Unlock

-Facebook Interrogation

-Something similar to "Android Beam"

-Face unlock

-Some sort of Widget capabilities

It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow. I hope it is even better than we expected!
 
Anyone else think we will see the start of the back to school program tomorrow?

Hope there is some news on the new iphone, my contract runs out soon :(

Don't know why people keep thinking the new iPhone is going to come out tomorrow. It is not going to.

Right now with your contract about to end is just you going through the same thing that 3GS owners went through last year.

Why do you think that it must be 90 minutes. People are not aware that we have had times that go over the "set time". It is not, a time limit

I don't think Facebook needs to interrogate me. It already knows everything about me.

We are pretty much into June already. It has to come up soon, if it does at all. If my memory serves me correctly, Apple moved to offering gift cards rather than iPods last year, right? Are we expecting the same, or does Apple need some help clearing their inventory? ;)
 
I'm not getting my hopes up for a huge Macbook Pro redesign/improvement. If they're releasing that many models (+ iOS6 + Mountain Lion) then it'll probably just be a boring specs bump. That is if they even release them tomorrow! Considering the back-to-school program hasn't started that makes me doubt that Apple will release new models. They usually like clearing their stock with the sale first.

I need new hardware Apple!
 
I hope you boys at mr have some decent infrastructure to cover the event, because the crashes this site has gone through in similar events are numerous.

Ya, they did $100 gift cards for iTunes and all their digital content. I am expecting it to be the same thing this year.
